Dang, I just have to chime in here; have been in a quiet mode for two days so the words have backed up. I ask forgiveness in advance* for any toes stepped on!
RC, your first sentence was:
"Simply getting some result we think we want without knowing how the result was achieved is not quite what I would call 'it works'."
Isn't this a pretty good description of Reiki itself? From a curmudgeonly point of view, of course!
Respectfully submitted,
Blessings,

* Yes, I know, "forgiveness in advance" is problematic...
